drodent/fastcamo, I gotta believe these weren't milled in like the Busses for strengthening/lightenening--these seem too narrow and light. Maybe it helps the coating stick better? Maybe it's a byproduct of a new mechanized grinding process? I gotta think it was something to keep costs lower. I could also be completely wrong and you guys right 100% <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Either way, doesn't looking like something that will impact the coated blades or the general performance of the knife <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
